We’ve
been working hard on the next version of Lightroom, and now we’re
giving our customers a chance to try out some of the new technology
available with the release of Lightroom 5 beta.
Since the initial Lightroom public beta release in 2006, we’ve learned a
tremendous amount through a collaborative dialogue with our customers,
and I’m excited to continue that collaboration to receive feedback on
the Lightroom 5 beta.
With
this release, our goal was to add some highly-desired features that
allow photographers to quickly process and enhance their images. We’ve
added more robust healing options, the ability to create off-center vignettes, and a one-click auto perspective correction tool.
We’ve also added the ability to edit photos when not connected to your
original images. Each of these improvements is a result of feedback
provided by the Lightroom community. Thank you.
